How to stay Warm(ies) this winter

The winter can be the most festive and fun of seasons – but it’s also the darkest and coldest.

In years gone by, you might have just whacked up the thermostat or turned on your gas fire for a warm glow but as bills rise and families face cutbacks, these are no longer economical options.

So, can Warmies® help with keeping warm in winter? The toy and homewares experts at Jeremy’s Home Store reveal all!

What are Warmies®?

A safe and reliable alternative to the classic hot water bottle, Warmies® products and plushies contain microwavable heat packs – offering gentle warmth for hours.

Whether you are considering soft toy characters like the Fruit Lemon Plush by Warmies® or the more traditional Luxury Latte Bottle by Warmies® you, a loved one, or a friend can enjoy reliable and pleasant warming over thousands of uses.

Simply remove the soothing lavender wheat bag, heat according to the tag instructions (between 30-90 seconds depending on the product) in your microwave, and sit back and relax with your snug shadow. 

Tips on keeping warm this winter

Keeping warm in winter is a common conundrum for more people than you think over the festive season.

From those looking to snuggle up with a film to those working from home during the day, a boost of warmth can make the winter experience much more pleasant.

As such, our top tips on keeping warm include:

Heat the person, not the house

While it can seem counterintuitive, warming the individuals in the home is much more effective than trying to heat the whole home.

Not only is it less expensive but it also means you can take the heat with you – instead of continually heating room after room.

Easy ways to do this include:

• Dressing in multiple smaller layers, including socks and slippers.
• Using heated products, like Warmies® plushies, neck wraps, Hot-Paks, and more.
• Closing internal doors and covering windows with voiles or open blinds – they let the light in but block chilly air from infiltrating.

Choose warm food and drinks

Opting for warm meals like soup, porridge, or even scrambled eggs on toast instead of cold cereals and sandwiches can go a long way to heat you from the inside out.

The same is true of drinks, just try to think of non-caffeinated or alcohol-free options too, like fruit teas, warm cordials, or even fresh orange juice gently heated with cinnamon – which gives one of your 5 a day too!

When you do want to indulge, mulled wine or cider is the perfect winter warmer.

Keep active

It can be tempting to huddle and hunker down if you are cold – but moving around regularly generates much-needed body heat and helps keep the blood flowing.

Whether you go for a frosty morning walk with the dog, join in with the Strictly professionals on Morning Live, or even have a bit of a stretch while doing the housework, it will all help keep you toasty!
